In today's Consumer Countdown, analysts Michael Finarelli and Sean O'Reilly take a look at the big headlines in the consumer goods sector from the past few days. First they take a look at PepsiCo's (PEP 1.40%) earnings and compare them to main competitor Coca-Cola (KO +0.62%). Then they look at eBay (EBAY 0.08%), which sold off heavily following its earnings announcement, and discuss whether the sell-off is justified.
After that, Mike analyzes Stanley Black & Decker (SWK +1.34%), which is down 15% over the last two days thanks to lowered guidance, to see if he thinks the guidance is warranted. And last but not least, Sean looks ahead at Mattel's (MAT 1.90%) holiday season.
